Just watchin' the clouds go by
|
On coming home from shopping today, Mom and I discovered a major hole dug in our driveway. A rather rectangular-shaped trench, actually. In fact, it came out about 12 feet from the back porch on either side and then met in the middle. Sort of like what you'd think the beginning of an addition on the house would look like. Hooray! Daddy and James broke ground while we were gone. But where are they now? It looks like the work has been abandoned. The truck is gone. Maybe James is in the house. I'll walk in and see. "J-A-M-E-S!" No answer. Louder this time. "J-A-M-E-S? YOU IN HERE?" Oh, there he is. Who's he on the phone with? Must be the Davises. He's giving out computer game tips.
Dad had gone to Home Depot, which BTW I have been told is "a man's store" while Lowe's is "a woman's store". I whole-heartedly agree with whoever it was that told me that. Mom and I sat upstairs on her bed wrapping up twenty or so little baby girl outfits we'd found during the morning's shopping expedition. I can hardly wait till Jess has her little girl. She told me their going to name her Victoria Grace. (Gracie for short.) I can't wait. I can't wait. Where was I?
Oh yes, the addition. Seeing that big hole in the ground was truly inspiring. I was moved with a desire to dig other holes in the ground. Unfortunately, my manpower was presently receiving another call on his hotline. So instead of actually digging, I designed instead. It's a lot easier on the muscles. Holding a pencil doesn't take near the strength that jumping up and down on a shovel requires. So now at least I have a sketch of my "tea room" as I have come to call the corner of our yard that's off to the side. I'm actually making progress. Really.
You're not convinced?
Don't worry. Neither am I. |

Breaking Ground is a momentous occasion. Congratulations on your progress.
I also agree with you about Home Depot and Lowes. Mrs. HOffman was the one who told me about that and it's nice to see that there are others who agree.

| The ShugaBowl |
| Sounds like some kind of sports thing, but in reality, the ShugaBowl is just a little hideaway for me, Sugarcube herself, to let loose my thoughts and occasional creativeness. |
